---

This will help you get started with TogetherAIEmbeddings [embedding models](/oss/concepts/embedding_models) using LangChain. For detailed documentation on `TogetherAIEmbeddings` features and configuration options, please refer to the [API reference](https://api.js.langchain.com/classes/langchain_community_embeddings_togetherai.TogetherAIEmbeddings.html).

## Overview

### Integration details

## Setup

To access TogetherAI embedding models you'll need to create a TogetherAI account, get an API key, and install the `@langchain/community` integration package.

### Credentials

You can sign up for a Together account and create an API key [here](https://api.together.xyz/). Once you've done this set the `TOGETHER_AI_API_KEY` environment variable:

```bash
export TOGETHER_AI_API_KEY="your-api-key"
```

If you want to get automated tracing of your model calls you can also set your [LangSmith](https://docs.smith.langchain.com/) API key by uncommenting below:

```bash
# export LANGSMITH_TRACING="true"
# export LANGSMITH_API_KEY="your-api-key"
```

### Installation

The LangChain TogetherAIEmbeddings integration lives in the `@langchain/community` package:

```{=mdx}
import IntegrationInstallTooltip from "@mdx_components/integration_install_tooltip.mdx";
<IntegrationInstallTooltip></IntegrationInstallTooltip>

<Npm2Yarn>
  @langchain/community @langchain/core
</Npm2Yarn>
```

## Instantiation

Now we can instantiate our model object and generate chat completions:

```typescript
import { TogetherAIEmbeddings } from "@langchain/community/embeddings/togetherai";

const embeddings = new TogetherAIEmbeddings({
  model: "togethercomputer/m2-bert-80M-8k-retrieval", // Default value
});
```

## Indexing and Retrieval

Embedding models are often used in retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) flows, both as part of indexing data as well as later retrieving it. For more detailed instructions, please see our RAG tutorials under the [**Learn** tab](/oss/learn/).

Below, see how to index and retrieve data using the `embeddings` object we initialized above. In this example, we will index and retrieve a sample document using the demo [`MemoryVectorStore`](/oss/integrations/vectorstores/memory).

```typescript
// Create a vector store with a sample text
import { MemoryVectorStore } from "langchain/vectorstores/memory";

const text = "LangChain is the framework for building context-aware reasoning applications";

const vectorstore = await MemoryVectorStore.fromDocuments(
  [{ pageContent: text, metadata: {} }],
  embeddings,
);

// Use the vector store as a retriever that returns a single document
const retriever = vectorstore.asRetriever(1);

// Retrieve the most similar text
const retrievedDocuments = await retriever.invoke("What is LangChain?");

retrievedDocuments[0].pageContent;
```

```output
LangChain is the framework for building context-aware reasoning applications
```

## Direct Usage

Under the hood, the vectorstore and retriever implementations are calling `embeddings.embedDocument(...)` and `embeddings.embedQuery(...)` to create embeddings for the text(s) used in `fromDocuments` and the retriever's `invoke` operations, respectively.

You can directly call these methods to get embeddings for your own use cases.

### Embed single texts

You can embed queries for search with `embedQuery`. This generates a vector representation specific to the query:

```typescript
const singleVector = await embeddings.embedQuery(text);

console.log(singleVector.slice(0, 100));
```

### Embed multiple texts

You can embed multiple texts for indexing with `embedDocuments`. The internals used for this method may (but do not have to) differ from embedding queries:

```typescript
const text2 = "LangGraph is a library for building stateful, multi-actor applications with LLMs";

const vectors = await embeddings.embedDocuments([text, text2]);

console.log(vectors[0].slice(0, 100));
console.log(vectors[1].slice(0, 100));
```
